No, I'm a techie. I don't really enjoy interacting directly with other people. I did enjoy the puzzle creating a computer program to meet a design poses, a solitary experience. Besides, I'm an anti-salesman, and I hate trying to convince anyone of anything.

I think computers are needed in the schools, but I think all the schools get that now. Today, you don't so much need to know things, as you need to know how to find the answer. With a computer search engine such as Google or Bing and a properly formulated search, it's easy to find out how to do nearly anything, or why something is the way it is.

But high tech like computers are expensive, and they empower those that can afford them. So, they are economically discriminative. The poor get left behind.

The main hurdle schools need to find the answer to is getting computers into all students hands. Epicure has done great work in her school, but not every school has an Epicure.
